Influenza (flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness. Serious outcomes of flu infection can result in hospitalization or death. Some people, such as older people, young children, and people with certain health conditions , are at high risk for serious flu complications.
The upcoming season’s flu vaccine will protect against the influenza viruses that research indicates will be most common during the season.
The best way to prevent the flu is by getting vaccinated each year. It is especially important to get your flu vaccine this year because of COVID-19.

It’s a Good Time to Get Your Flu Vaccine
While the U.S. remains focused on the COVID-19 pandemic, we need to also be aware of flu season as we approach winter. Influenza (flu) viruses typically spread in fall and winter, with activity peaking between December and February. Getting vaccinated now can lower your chances of getting the flu.
Flu is a serious disease, caused by influenza viruses, that can lead to hospitalization and even death. Every flu season is different, and the substantial health impacts can vary widely from season to season, with some flu seasons being worse than others. Your best defense is vaccination, which provides protection from flu and its potential complications.

Eligibility
Appointments are open to the all groups:
- Ages 12 + (Pfizer 12 +, Moderna & J&J 18+)
Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky signed off on the recommendations for a booster shot of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine after advisers approved them Thursday.
She endorsed the recommendations but went further — also recommending a third dose for workers in high-risk settings and those in institutional settings.
“This updated interim guidance from CDC allows for millions of Americans who are at highest risk for COVID-19 to receive a Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 booster shot to help increase their protection,” the agency said in a statement.
The CDC now says that people 65 years and older and residents in long-term care settings should get a booster, and so should people 50 to 64 years old who have an underlying medical condition.
Those 18 to 49 with underlying medical conditions, and those 18 to 64 who are at an increased risk because of an occupational or institutional setting, “may” get a shot, the CDC says.
FDA advisory panel unanimously endorses Moderna’s Covid vaccine booster for some groups
Food and Drug Administration advisory panel voted unanimously Thursday in favor of authorizing booster shots of the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine to people 65 and older, those 18 to 64 with risk factors for severe Covid-19, and those whose jobs put them at high risk for serious complications of Covid-19, such as health care workers.
After hours of deliberation, the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee voted 19-to-0 that the Moderna booster should be authorized for these groups at least six months after receiving their second dose. The panel also discussed at what point boosters should be recommended to all adults over 18, saying that at this point it is far too soon to consider the matter.
Key takeaways from this week’s data (as of 10/12/2021):
- Close to 2.4 million Maricopa County residents have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine — which is almost 54% of the total population.
- Over 4.6 million COVID-19 vaccine doses have been given to Maricopa County residents.
- In the last week, ~8,000 doses of vaccine were given to Maricopa County residents daily.
- Almost 54% of all Maricopa County residents, almost 62% of Maricopa County residents 10 years and older, and over 65% of adults 18 years and older have received at least 1 dose of COVID-19 vaccine.

Updated Mask Policy in Our Office: Effective Immediately
At our office, we are continuing to follow CDC guidelines and will strive for ways to keep our patients and staff safe.
We require that all unvaccinated and vaccinated patients and visitors entering our office cover their nose and mouth at all times.
To prevent further spread of the Delta variant, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its mask guidance on Tuesday, July 27, 2021, to recommend that fully vaccinated people wear masks indoors when in areas with “substantial” and “high” transmission of Covid-19, which includes most of all US counties.
We have a limited supply of paper masks and will make these available to patients while they last, however, we strongly encourage you to bring your own facial covering.
Stay healthy & safe!
